So I'm 40 minutes into this. For anyone reading: Conway is great, but this is basically him rambling, there really isn't any substance in this video. It's basically the Simpsons scene where grandpa is talking about onions on

Several?? We haven't had a bear market in 10 years.

That and half the value of Ethereum and Bitcoin evaporated in a matter of days. No one wants "currency" that just up and loses half it's value.

I don't see the problem here, that was literally the point. To build a chess computer.

We are talking about the US specifically.

Great anecdote. Academia is, what, like 0.1% of the workforce? Browsing some polls, it looks like less than 10% of salaries people work more than 60 hours. I don't know what the ratio is for salary vs hourly in the US, but that probabl

Yeah I mean if you want elegant just reroll the fuckin dice. The solution is kind of interesting I guess, but it's so impractical I don't think you can even call it a solution.

The myth that many people work 60-80 hr weeks needs to die. Very few people do this and the ones that do choose to. C levels, company owners etc. Anyone else working that much straight up chooses to.

My current workplace is staffed with mostly women. It's the most toxic, political, cutthroat environment I've ever worked in. It's an anecdote, I know, but I keep the infra running and don't talk to anyone unless I have

Are you sure you're on the right website?

I checked the math, they are correct.

Because hedge funds don't beat the market for more than a year or two at a time, no one does. It's all a scam. Nothing beats just holding index funds.

Perfect? Perfectly what? How much good am I doing? I don't know that you're talking about, sorry.

And if you make $10 on each of those that's .1%. Or even if it's only $1 that's 1%. So be it! I don't want to encourage shitty design for pennies at any level. Stop making shitty shit.

You're fine either way. You either have to poll, or use interrupts. If you are polling, you don't need to debounce the circuit. If you use interrupts, you're going to have a very bad time if you don't. Interrupts are m

Microprocessors are made because people collectively contribute to "the grid". The ability to live off "the grid" is made possible by "the grid" itself. Unless you are building tools from raw materials. Going o

The article specifically states you won't lose access to anything you've paid for and you'll still be able to authenticate with that account. You just can't use it for mail, calendar, drive, etc. Just repoint your email

You're massively underestimating how many miles of cable would need to be run to cover the US with 4G. You're talking on the order of a million miles of cable. Not to mention building even more towers than the satellites they are

I think it's a bit of a paradox. If everyone lived like that, no one would be able to live like that. "All I need is a battery, a solar panel, copper wiring encased in plastic, a mining company to dig the ore out, a chemical refin

Point taken, but 30 is very young to be having issues with ergonomic injuries unless you're genetically predisposed to carpel tunnel or tendonitis or something.

You'd have to have two intervals though, one for on, one for off. It bounces both ways. Hardware is more elegant but obviously the tradeoffs depend on what you're implementing.

Yeah, I get where you're coming from, but a few dozen SMD caps and resistors ordered in that kind of bulk probably raises the cost by a penny. Of course you do technically have more points of failure I guess.

Of course. Hardware debouncing came long before software. It's basic electronics. Many switches have it built in.

"Been smoking 20 years, still no lung cancer!" You're only 30. Give it 10 years. Not being snarky, the damage is being done, you're just not at that point yet. 38, been programming since the same age and I'm startin

Wow. I'm surprised they don't do this on the component level. When I was working in embedded, I considered software debouncing a lazy hack. I'd rather sanitize the data before it hits software.

No, that's where you're at with your inability to see the difference.

So? The web works just as well on other browsers. I swear this community would have tried to break up The Beatles because they had a "monopoly on music". Chrome is not a monopoly, it's just popular.
